It's one thing if someone thinks he has something serious: chest pain that could be a heart attack or belly pain that could be appendicitis; or if they're homeless or poor and they have no other doctor they can see...That's what the ER is for. That's why I'm there.

When someone comes in and tells me straight up that he'd been meaning to see his doctor for a couple months but thought he'd pop into the ER right then because it was a convenient moment for him, then all those people I mentioned at first have to share their time and I can't do my job as well. And it happens all the time.

I think karma is coming back to bite me in the ass for all the Grammar Nazi-ing I’ve done to you guys over the years and has given me a boss who despite speaking perfect English, types out horrible grammar mistakes. I.e. “You can closed out the job...” and saying “where” instead of “when.” I apologize if my grammar corrections caused any of you grief.

The Rock Am Ring line-up is so weak this year. Right now there is Black Stone Cherry playing, one of the few bands which are interesting for me. Yesterday Stone Sour was the main act on center stage. I think this tells everything about the quality of this year's RaR. I love Stone Sour, but they aren't that big in Germany to perform as a headliner.

Kinda a pity that Tremonti didn't make it to Rock am Ring or Rock im Park this year tho.
